Calories
Ok so no matter how hard I try to eat 1000 calories a day I can never make it most the time I can even make it past 500 calories my doctor says when I'm not hungry don't eat. Most mornings when I wake up I'm not hungry at all and I usually don't get hungry about 2 and then I'm hungry all afternoon. Even so I still cannot get 2000 calories a day that I need plus the exercise burns what I do you get. I do you make sure however that I try to get close to the protein amount that I am supposed to have a date so I come pretty close to that just not the calories. Any suggestions?

Confused
For the last year we have been tinkering with the idea of trying for our last! I felt i wanted the band first as i had a miscarriage 4/11 and its was due to pcos we think! I now have the band and my husband wants me to get off the depo and not try but let nature take its course. At this point id almost rather get pregnant sooner than later because i dont want a bad weight gain after working so hard to lose it all! I have a bad kidney problem that puts me basically on bed rest! I so want one more but im afraid of miscarrying so bad again! Any thought?
